Besides Fraktur, we have the same problem with the "CJK" languages (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) and Hebrew - ABBYY offers modules for each, but those modules are not included in the LuraTech software, and we can't add them separately.
There may be some changes in how we do OCR around the end of 2010, but I'm afraid we won't be able to handle Fraktur at least until then.

I apologize for unearthing this 3 years-old post, I've been searching on the forum to find some more recent news, to no avail.
I would very much want to know what is the present situation with Fraktur texts, as it appears that the text I've accessed in "Full text" mode are not correctly processed by OCR.
Is there any chance that archive.org will be able to provide OCR version of its very numerous Fraktur documents?
I am well aware that ABBYY asks a high price for access to its Fraktur technology (http://www.frakturschrift.de/en:pricing ), is there really no way they would collaborate with archive.org? German publications up to mid 19th century are so incredibly important in so many fields of science and culture, it would be a superb progress to be able to search these assets.
Thank you very much in advance for any available information.
Best,
Nicolas

Has anyone looked into Tesseract? They have a Fraktur language module. It is all open source.

thanks for explanation and i'm very glad to hear that You work on this problem. Hopefully You get support following this track and can provide such OCRed texts.
Is there help needed to tag a book if it is in Fraktur?
Best,
